Hey Chicago Community! We want to thank you so much for everything, and we hope that you continue to connect and support each other!

Extra special props to our Chicago chapter organizers!!

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

+ everyone who’s had expertise to contribute to our peer-led development.

May you continue to Own Your Expertise, and Speak Your Truth!

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

thxs to everyone who’s been part of W/S/C's existence! We encourage you to use the remainder of this time to connect, celebrate eachother, & give tribute to the folks who were the glue of the community: the founders, board members, conference & chapter organizers, & speakers +

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

We will not be doing any further events, or organizing for the remainder of the year, and appreciate everyone’s patience and grace as we sunset the organization.

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

We are taking this time to be intentional about preserving and distributing the knowledge and resources we have, and will inform our community in advance as we close up accounts and channels of communication.

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

We all know the effort it takes to keep a community running, let alone a multi-state operating non-profit, and though the mission continues to be a light, we no longer have the capacity to sustain the organization.

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

After giving a lot of time and consideration for the sustainability of the organization, We have decided to dissolve Write/Speak/Code by December 2023.

WSC Chicago wants to recognize & amplify the work of black & trans led org @BSAllianceChi.

From creating a fund for black trans folks,
to unapologetically calling for the abolition of the police state,
We support you & look to you as leaders in the Chicago community

[Write/Speak/Code @WriteSpeakCode]

We believe in empowering and elevating marginalized voices directly.

We have given each of our 6 chapters a stipend to donate to the organization that most elevates Black voices in their community.

@wscsf @WSCSeattle @wscchicago @wscnewyorkcity @WSCAustin @WSC_LA

[Chi Write/Speak/Code @wscchicago]

We encourage you all to find black-led organizations like these in your community, doing the work on the ground, listen to their needs, amplify their demands, and support where you can.

As an organization, we exist to combat systemic oppression. This week and always we stand with protestors as they demand justice and action for Black lives in the United States. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
